Re: Marketing Tasks

[Dave Neary <dneary gnome org>]

Hi,

Looking through the list, I added some links to pertinent information in 
other parts of the wiki - like the StoryBoards page, and existing 
presentations, and Willie Walker's excellent screencasts of 
accessibility features (everyone should go look - a model for how I'd 
like to see us build up demo material that people can follow in their 
own presentations: http://master.gnome.org/~wwalker/demos/). Might be an 
idea to have 2 sections in the GNOME Video contest - one for "best 
screencast demo" and one for "best ad" or whatever.

Some other comments on the tasks: counting users & having a "State of 
GNOME" presentation aren't one-time tasks, they're ongoing tasks. I'd 
suggest using Stormy's excellent "State of GNOME" presentation as the 
basis for any future SoG presentations, with changes made as needed.

For the CRM, Stormy can give a status update, but a CRM with a fairly 
significant number of user licences should be up & running for us now. 
That will help with any number of tasks - listing user group 
representatives, donors, potential presenters & ambassadors, potential 
sponsors, names of people in the press team, ...

I also noticed that all attachments before Stormy's last presentation 
got wiped off the MarketingMaterial/Presentations page.

In fact, they didn't get wiped, they're still there, attached to the 
MarketingMaterial page. Someone moved part of that page to a sub-page, 
resulting in the broken links. And left the original "Presentations" 
section intact on the old page. And didn't link to the "Presentations" 
page from MarketingMaterial.

Can we please take care when "tidying" the wiki of issues like these? It 
greatly reduces the usefulness of the MarketingMaterial page when it's 
very long, and a bunch of really useful & relevant material is moved to 
a sub-page with no link from the original page, or moved to the bottom 
under "Old stuff". Let's not do the two steps forward, one step back 
dance, please.

For presentations, we have an issue - we're currently linking to a lot 
of presentations on sites that may go away. We have not been gathering 
files together into one place, which would be useful. Anyone have 
suggestions on how we can address this issue? We could start using the 
GNOME FTP server again, as we did in 03, 04, 05... are there any better 
ideas?

Cheers,
Dave.
